As Arun Jaitley is on Medical leave, Piyush Goyal who assumed office from January 23rd, 2019 as Minister of Finance has presented the National Democratic Alliance(NDA) final budget today in LokSabha. This is definitely a budget for the middle class and farmers. Overall ga interesting budget ane cheppachu. Manaki use ayyevatini highlight cheskuntu, let’s know more about this union budget:

INCOME TAX Individual taxpayers having taxable annual income up to Rs 5 lakh will get a full tax rebate and therefore will not be required to pay any income tax. Kani ee topic midha raka rakala messages whatsapp lo chakkarlu kodthunay. Manam ardham cheskovalsina vishayam entante, this is rebate, not slab change! Anni deductions poga mana net income 5 lakhs lopu unte, manaki ye tax padadhu. Let’s understand this with an example Salary: 6 lakhs Investments: HRA 1 lakh, medical insurance 15k So final taxable salary: 4.85 lakhs. As this is under 5 lakhs, miku inka em taxes padavu. Same example with different investments: Salary: 6 lakhs Investments: HRA 90K So final taxable salary: 5.1 lakhs As this is more than 5 lakhs, patha slabs prakaram taxes padthay. Anthe gani, tax slabs emi maraledhu. Same scenario if you include Investments under 80C: If you have invested in PPF, some Mutual funds, LIC’s, Pension fund, NSC, etc. appudu 6.5 lakhs lopu net income unte taxes padavu. Ippativarku Tax savings kosam maximum declare cheyagalgina HRA 1.8 lakhs. Adhi ippudu 2.4 lakhs ki pencharu. Ivanni employees tax savings ki chala help ayyevi. So, job holders andharu chala happy ee particular vishayam lo. One of the good decision which benefits crores of employees.

TAX ASSESSMENT & RETURNS Tax assessment and returns processing/payments 24 hours lo aipoyetattu oka scheme ni tisukuni osthunaru. Idhi amalu avvadaniki inka 2 years pattachu.
